After getting married, Qiu Xia was able to quit her current night shift job and find a leisure job with relatively normal working hours.
Even though the salary was still not very high, at least, she no longer had living expenses and rent expenses. She could save all the two thousand yuan every month.
Even if she occasionally added small appliances and trinkets to her home and bought small gifts for Feng Chenghai and stepson Feng Rui, she would be able to save more money in a year than she did before she remarried.
There were at least eight or nine years left until Qiu Wu graduated from university and got married. This time was enough for her to save money for a car for Qiu Wu.
When she got married in the future, her husband’s family wouldn’t dislike her for entering the house for free and taking advantage of the husband’s family.
Qiu Xia felt that when Qiu Wu got married, her responsibility to her would be completely over. She did not ask this daughter to provide for her in the future, she only asked for a clear conscience.
“Mom, how is that man? Is he good to you?”
Because of Qiu Xia’s venting words just now, the air was a little solemn for a moment. After a long silence, Ah Wu asked with a thick nasal voice.
She didn’t understand why mother and daughter, who clearly cared about each other, had to get along in such a way. But, this did not prevent her from making some changes.
“It’s pretty good. He can make money and he’s kind. He took the initiative to be responsible for your tuition and living expenses in the future. But to live a good life, you have to live with him for a long time to know whether it is good or not.”
Qiu Xia thought that her daughter would object, but she didn’t expect her to ask such a question.
“Anyway, it doesn’t matter what I said. You can see it tomorrow. You can see for yourself.”
Compared with her daughter’s aggrieved and soft words, Qiu Xia would rather have her grumpy objection. At least, this way she didn’t have to feel as if she was sorry for her.
“I will take a closer look tomorrow, but since Mom thinks he is good, he should be good.”
In the dark night, Qiu Wu’s voice seemed a little low: “I won’t object to your remarriage. I’m just a little sad. In the future, Mom will have a new husband and a new son. I won’t be your only relative, but I only have Mom.”
“Mom, have I ever told you that I really, really love you?”
The last sentence was almost inaudible. If Qiu Xi hadn’t listened carefully, she would have missed it.
For a moment, Qiu Xia felt that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, her chest felt tight, and she felt a heart-wrenching pain.
“After I get married, my husband and my son will be your father and your brother. Take care of yourself and others will treat you as one of their own. Don’t say such depressing words.”
After a while, Qiu Xia finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Okay, go to bed quickly, or you won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning.”
Qiu Xia wiped her tears and said in a rough voice.
She kept looking at the floral fabric of the cloth wardrobe next to her bed. Even though it was so late, she didn’t feel sleepy at all.
The scenes from the time Qiu Wu was born until she was as old as she is now were constantly replaying in her mind.
How could she not be touched at all when her daughter cried and said that she was the only one and that she loved her the most?
But, Qiu Xia really couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.
For her, Qiu Wu could never be purely her daughter.
